What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Love the high koos! :) I REALLY want to know that the things on that first cake are supposed to be because (being a woman) my first thought was exactly the same - radioactive tampons. I then pondered the idea of colorful bug zappers but quickly dismissed that. Oh, and that Stan cake is great quality but WHY would someone want a cake that it looks like someone has drowned?

Long time reader, first time posting. I think that last cake is supposed to be a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference. The " B" is the Buffy logo, could be a reference to the swim meet episode where the swim meet guys either died in the pool area and/or turned into sea monsters. Could be wrong though.

Another one here who thought that the first cake was decorated with ladies' sanitary items. Pads and tampons!

Please tell me that the car cake does not contain a massive blob of black mould on the icing; that it is instead a blob of black food colouring on the icing pretending to look like an oil spill in a random location.
